TWO PEOPLE ARE DEAD AND A CHILD AFTER THEY CRASH IN SETTLEMENT OF COUNTY. YOU CAN SEE TRAFFIC MOVING SLOWLY THROUGH THIS AREA. CHB CONTINUES TO INVESTIGATE EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED. TOM DUHAIN IS LIVE NEAR THE SCENE WITH WHAT HAPPENED. WESTBOUND 80 BETWEEN MADISON AND WATT, THE CORONER HAS LEFT WITH TWO BODIES. A HORRIBLE CRASH OF THIS AFTERNOON.
